This
is my best friend, P. Jinkles - PJ for short. Why is she special??
I could go on for days!!
I lost my Jasmine (Tiel) last November. PJ has brightened my days so
much during my mourning period. I have no children so my PJ is my
child, as was my Jasmine. PJ has been my angel without a doubt...and
she's gotten me through my darkest days, always making me smile! What
a funny clown she is! She has also been talking since four months old
too! Which is virtually unheard of... She can say "OH
PeeeeeeJaaaay." "Pretty pretty birdie," "Come
here!," "Peekaboo," "Here Kitty Kitty
Kitty," as well as the wolf whistle! We live on a pathway next
to the next block over, and folks are always stopping by to hear my
P. Jinkles talk to them!:) Female cockatiels almost never talk, she is
my special bird, my child prodigy.
